Miridae new record Orthotylinae Pseudoloxops Introduction Chungnam National University (CNU), Daejeon, Korea. Distribution with an asterisk means it is a new record in this area. The genus Pseudoloxops Kirkaldy, 1905 belongs to the subfamily Orthotylinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) containing 41 Taxonomic accounts species in the world (Schuh 2002e2013). Among the genus, 13 Genus Pseudoloxops Kirkaldy, 1905 홍색들장님노린재속 (신칭) species are recorded in the Palaearctic Region, six species are Pseudoloxops Kirkaldy, 1905: 268. Type species: Pseudoloxops recorded in China, and four species are recorded in Japan (Kerzhner coccineus MeyereDür, 1843. and Josifov 1999; Aukema et al 2013).

    251 CHROMOSOME NUMBERS OF SOME NORTH AMERICAN MIRIDS (HETEROPTERA: MIRIDAE) A. E. AKINGBOHUNGBE Department of Plant Science University of Ife lie-Ife, Nigeria Data are presented on the chromosome numbers (2n) of some eighty species of Miridae. The new information is combined with existing data on some Palearctic and Ethiopian species and discussed. From it, it is suggested that continued reference to 2n - 32A + X + Y as basic mirid karyotype should be avoided and that contrary to earlier suggestions, agmatoploidy rather than poly- ploidy is a more probable mechanism of numerical chromosomal change. Introduction Leston (1957) and Southwood and Leston (1959) gave an account of the available information on chromosome numbers in the Miridae. These works pro- vided the first indication that the subfamilies may show some modalities that might be useful in phylogenetic analysis in the family. Kumar (1971) also gave an ac- count of the karyotype in some six West African cocoa bryocorines. In the present paper, data will be provided on 80 North American mirids, raising to about 131, the number of mirids for which the chromosome numbers are known. Materials and Methods Adult males were collected during the summer of 1970-1972 in Wisconsin and dissected soon after in 0.6% saline solution. The dissected testes were preserved in 3 parts isopropanol: 1 part glacial acetic acid and stored in a referigerator until ready for squashing. Testis squashes were made using Belling's iron-acetocarmine tech- nique as reviewed by Smith (1943) and slides were ringed with either Bennett's zut or Sanford's rubber cement.

  • Heteroptera: Miridae): New Species, New Combinations, and Additional Distribution Records DAN A
    PAN-PACIFIC ENTOMOLOGIST 61(2), 1985, pp. 146-151 A Review of Dichaetocoris Knight (Heteroptera: Miridae): New Species, New Combinations, and Additional Distribution Records DAN A. POLHEMUS Department of Biology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112. The genus Dichaetocoris was proposed by Knight (1968) to contain twelve species of Orthotylinae from the western United States. My studies reveal that four species presently in the genus are not congeneric with D. pinicola Knight, the type species of Dichaetocoris, while a species presently in Orthotylus, 0. piceicola Knight, should be transferred to Dichaetocoris. In this paper the following new combinations are proposed: D. stanleyaea Knight = Melanotrichus stanle- yaea (Knight), D. brevirostris Knight = Melanotrichus knighti Polhemus, D. sym- phoricarpi Knight = Melanotrichus symphoricarpi (Knight), D. peregrinus (Van Duzee) = Parthenicus peregrinus (Van Duzee), and Orthotylus piceicola Knight = D. piceicola (Knight). Two new species, D. geronimo and Df mojave, are described from Arizona and Nevada respectively, and distributional records are noted for D. pinicola Knight, D. merinoi Knight, Df coloradensis Knight, D. nevadensis Knight, and D. spinosus (Knight). Generic concepts in the western Orthotylini are in serious need of revision, a project beyond the scope of the present paper. As construed here, the genus Dichaetocoris may be distinguished by the presence of two types of simple re- cumbent pubescence on the dorsum, a lack ofsexual dimorphism, and restriction to coniferous hosts. The closely allied genus Melanotrichus possesses flattened silvery hairs on the dorsum, exhibits weak sexual dimorphism in which the females are frequently shorter and broader than the males, and occurs on a variety ofnon- coniferous hosts.

  • Heteroptera: Miridae: Orthotylinae: Orthotylini
    J. New York Entomol. Soc. 97(2):159-166, 1989 REVIEW OF DALEAPIDEA KNIGHT (HETEROPTERA: MIRIDAE: ORTHOTYLINAE: ORTHOTYLINI) RANDALL T. SCHUH Department of Entomology, American Museum of Natural History, New York, New York 10024 Abstract. -A revised diagnosis is provided for Daleapidea Knight. A key, diagnoses, distri- butional data, and illustrations of the male habitus and genitalia are provided for the three species currently placed in the genus. Hadronema decorata (Uhler) is transferred to Daleapidea and a lectotype is designated. Knight (1968) described the genus Daleapidea to include two species, albescens (Van Duzee) and daleae Knight. Recent collecting and examination of existing col- lections reveal that Hadronema decorata Uhler also belongs to this colorful group of Orthotylini which breeds on the leguminous plant genus Psorothamnus in the American southwest and Baja California. Daleapidea Knight Daleapidea Knight, 1968:101 (n. gen., key). Type species: Daleapidea daleae Knight. Diagnosis. Orthotylinae: Orthotylini: Recognized by the structure ofthe fore tibia, which is flattened distally and covered with thickly set short setae on the ventral surface ofthe flattened area (Figs. 4A, B), the first antennal segment which is relatively long and inflated subbasally (Figs. 1-3), the rather strong sexual dimorphism with the males elongate and slender and the females much more robust, and the structure of the male genitalia (Fig. 5), with two vesical spines, the longer with two recurved branches, the shorter simple, and the hatchet-shaped right paramere. All three species are strikingly colored, and the males, particularly of daleae, are wasp-like in their movements. Discussion. Knight (1968) in his description and key related Daleapidea to Lopidea Uhler and Lopidella Knight based on the presence ofa "suture extending down from the base of the jugum to a point near middle of gena." It is not clear whether the structure Knight referred to is actually a suture, and it furthermore appears that it occurs widely outside of Lopidea and its close relatives.

  • A Systematic Study of the Genus Phytocoris Fallén (Heteroptera
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Gary Michael Stonedahl for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology presented on December 9, 1982 Title: A systematic study of the genus Phytocoris Fallen (Heteroptera: Miridae) in western North America Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: John D. Lattin The western Nearctic species of the genus Phytocoris Fallen were taxonomically revised. Over 15,000 specimens were examined. Information concerning host plant associations and distributions was compiled and summarized for use by future researchers. External morphological features and characters of the male genitalia were used to distinguish species. The genital tubercles above the clasper bases, claspers, and sclerotized process of the vesica were especially useful in this effort. These structures have been illustrated for each of the included species. One-hundred and sixty-two species of Phytocoris are now recognized from western North America. These have been arranged into 20 species-groups ranging in size from two to twenty-two species. The formation of species-groups was based primarily on characters of the male genitalia. Relationships between groups were cladistically analyzed. Forty-four characters of the male genitalia and external morphology were used to determine the final arrangement of species-groups. Forty-six new species are described, and the following synonymies are proposed (senior synonym first): acaciae Knight = minuendus Knight; calli Knight = laticeps Knight; deserticola Knight lineatellus Knight; empirensis Knight m rinconae Knight; fraterculus Van Duzee = westwoodi Bliven; fuscipennis Knight = longirostris Knight; geniculatus Van Duzee = blackwelli Bliven; interspersus Uhler = eurekae Bliven; juniperanus Knight = chiricahuae Knight, flaviatus Knight, santaritae Knight; ketinelbi Bliven = kahtahbi Bliven; knowltoni Knight = albertae Knight, elongatus Knight; maritimus Van Duzee = sequoiae Bliven; neglectus Knight = yuroki Bliven; nigrifrons Van Duzee = abiesi.

  • Revision of the Orthotyline Plant Bug Genus New Species
    J. New York Entomol. Soc. 109(2):235-262, 2001 REVISION OF THE ORTHOTYLINE PLANT BUG GENUS HYALOCHLORIA, WITH A KEY AND DESCRIPTIONS OF FOUR NEW SPECIES (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA: MIRIDAE) THOMAS J. HENRY Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Plant Sciences Institute, Agricultural Research, Service United States Department of Agriculture, % National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. 20560-0168 (Email: thenry@ sel.barc.usda.gov) Abstract.-The four new species Hyalochloria apicata, H. bispina, and H. marginatus from Brazil, and H. baranowskii from Panama and Trinidad, are described; H. rondoniensis Carvalho is synonymized under H. scutellata Henry; males of H. antilleana Carvalho and H. araripensis Carvalho are described for the first time; confusion pertaining to the identity of H. caviceps and II. unicolor is clarified; a lectotype for H. caviceps Reuter is redesignated; and numerous new distribution records are given. Photographs of adults, illustrations of male antennae, and a revised identification key to the 20 known species are provided to facilitate recognition. Key words: Miridae, Orthotylinae, Hyalochloria, new species, new combination, male de- scriptions, distribution, identification key. The genus Hyalochloria was established by Reuter (1907) to accommodate the two new Jamaican species, H. caviceps Reuter and H. unicolor Reuter, both de- scribed from only females. Males and their characteristically modified antennae re- mained unknown until Hsiao (1945) discovered the new species H. denticornis from Peru. Based on these newfound dimorphic structures, Hsiao (1945) transferred H. bella Van Duzee (1916) from Hyalochloria to his new genus Saileria. Carvalho (1953), likewise, recognized that male antennae characterized the genus and trans- ferred H. almeida Carvalho (1946) to Saileria.

Onychomiris victoriae genre nouveau et espece nouvelle d'Espagne (Heteroptera, Miridae) par Jordi RIBES & Eva RIBES Valencia 123-125, ent., 3a, 08011 Barcelona, Catalogne, Espagne Risumk. - Les auteurs decrivent un genre nouveau et une esp6ce nouvelle d'H&t&roptere: Onychomiris victoriae n. gen., n. sp., Miridae, Orthotylinae, des Pyrendes centrales espagnoles (prov. Huesca, Aragon). Summary. - Onychomiris victoriae, new genus and new species from Spain (Heteroptera, Miridae). A new genus and species ofOrthotylinae, from Spanish Central Pyrenees (prov. Huesca, Aragon) is here described. Resumen. - Se describe un heter6ptero perteneciente a un genero y especie nuevos: Onychomiris victoriae n. gen., n. sp., Miridae, Orthotylinae, de los Pirineos aragoneses (prov. Huesca). Mots clis. - Heteroptera Miridae, Orthotylinae, Onychomiris victoriae n. gen., n. sp., Pyrdnees, Espagne. En etudiant un lot d'Heteropteres d'Aragon (Espagne septentrionale), soumis par notre ami et collegue Javier Blasco-Zumeta, nous avons remarqud un male qui, au premier coup d'oeil, semblait appartenir au genre Mecomma Fieber. Le specimen provenant d'une localite pyrdneenne typique, cette presomption s'averait logique, car des citations des Pyrenees centrales espagnoles ont deja ete publiees tant pour Mecomma ambulans (Fallen, 1807) (RIBES, 1982; GOULA & RIBES, 1995), que pour M dispar (Boheman, 1852) (GPSSE et al., 1995). Une etude approfondie du specimen montre neanmoins qu'il presente certains caracteres de Mecomma et de Cyrtorhinus, et d'autres non observes chez ces deux genres. Nous sommes parvenus 'a cette conclusion, d'une part apres examen du materiel de notre collection qui comprend les Mecomma cites ci-dessus ainsi que Cyrtorhinus caricis (Fallen), d'autre part apres avoir revu les publications des auteurs relatives 'a ces deux genres et a leur comparaison.

Size variation in Mirid bugs is from 1 to 15 mm. In term of food behavior, Plant bugs are Phytophagous, Carnivorous, and Omnivorous. This family comprising eight subfamilies which among them subfamilies Mirinae and Orthotylinae are the most diverse. The Mirinae is the largest subfamily of Miridae with 6 tribe and more than 4000 described species (Cassis & Schuh, 2012). This subfamily is defined by pretarsal and genitalic characters (Schwartz, 2008).

  • Heteroptera: Miridae: Orthotylinae: Halticini)
    ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA MUSEI NATIONALIS PRAGAE Published 15.xii.2010 Volume 50(2), pp. 341–368 ISSN 0374-1036 Revision of the genus Pachytomella (Heteroptera: Miridae: Orthotylinae: Halticini) Anna A. NAMYATOVA Department of Entomology, Faculty of Biology and Soil Sciences, Saint Petersburg State University, Universitetskaya nab. 7/9, St. Petersburg, Russia, 199034; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The Palaearctic genus Pachytomella Reuter, 1890, comprising six species, is revised, and new synonymies for varieties of P. phoenicea (Horváth, 1884) – P. phoenicea var. antennalis Reuter, 1891, P. phoenicea var. pedalis Reu- ter, 1904, P. phoenicea var. nigricornis Reuter, 1904 – are proposed. Diagnoses and detailed descriptions for the genus and all species are given. Keys to males and females, as well as colour digital habitus images and illustrations of genital structures are provided. The lectotype for Pachytomella cursitans Reuter, 1905 is designated. Pachytomella parallela is recorded for the first time from Andorra and P. phoenicea from Jordan and Syria. Key words. Heteroptera, Miridae, Halticini, Pachytomella, taxonomy, revision, key, distribution Introduction The genus Pachytomella Reuter, 1890 includes dark-coloured, small halticines (Miridae: Orthotylini: Halticini) clothed with only short simple setae and having a distinctly transverse head. The distribution is principally Mediterranean but also covers Central, Northern and Eastern Europe. COSTA (1842) described the genus Pachytoma to accommodate a new species, Pachytoma minor A. Costa, 1842 (junior synonym of P. passerinii (A. Costa, 1842)) known only from females. Later, COSTA (1853) described males and broadened the diagnosis. He included in the genus P. flavomarginatus (A. Costa, 1842), subsequently transferred to Schoenocoris Reuter, 1890 by REUTER (1890), and P.
